I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"It's Uncle Cody, has my Devil Fruit been approved?"

Xie Wen smiled like an old farmer who saw a bumper rice harvest.

Cody: "..."

Rolling his eyes speechlessly, he replied: "The devil fruits you want have indeed been approved, but if you want to get them, you must first go to Marineland. We will give the fruits to you." The navy keeps it, and whether you can get it from them depends on your own ability."

"Tsk! I knew things weren't that easy..." Xie Wen smacked his lips.

Obviously, his "Shichibukai Reserve" is somewhat important to the World Government, but not that important.

One or two Devil Fruits are indeed nothing to the World Government, but they cannot offer them without hesitation just because Xie Wen has made conditions. This is a matter of face and right to speak.

But Xie Wen was not willing to suffer at all, so he said decisively: "Since you have made restrictions, then I will also increase the price. Anyway... you seem to be confident that I can't get it." Isn’t that right?”

"..."

There was another moment of silence on the other side, and then Xie Wen heard Cody say in a calm but cold tone: "Don't go too far, we don't have to do it with you."

Xie Wen was a little surprised by Uncle Cody's change in attitude, so he looked at Linkmiao not far away again.

After Huamei Meow, who was standing next to the little leopard cat, whispered to him, Link Meow used his expression to convey Master Xiang Feihu's meaning to Xie Wen.

(=vv=)【Cody’s attitude changes...】

(=w=) [There is a high probability that there is someone else next to him...]

╮(=ΦwΦ=)╭【So he has no choice...】

(=`へ=)【Can't show that you are very close to you...】

(=ΦxΦ=)【Don’t act too close...】

(=`w=)σ[Use Moria directly to negotiate terms with him. 】

Xie Wen nodded clearly and then made an OK gesture towards them.

Of course, Hua Mei Miao used this method to advise Xie Wen in the previous analysis and correspondence.

"What if I told you... I just defeated Moonlight Moria, and he might be killed by me at any time now?"

Xie Wen, who received off-field assistance, also deliberately made his tone lively and slightly provocative.

"What?! Why did you attack other Shichibukai again?!" Cody asked in shock.

"You can't blame me. I was sailing well on the sea, but he suddenly used a trap to lure me to his own territory. He also wanted to snatch the shadows of me and the cats. I just fought back a little."

Xie Wen decisively threw the blame.

The other side fell silent again.

In fact, the World Government is not unaware of what Moria is doing, and even some of the navy passing by the Magic Triangle have had their shadows taken away by him. However, due to the status of King Moria's Shichibukai, Those navies whose shadows were taken away could only suffer the loss of being dumb.

So after learning that Xie Wen had knocked down Moriah, he didn't know what Cody's superiors in the CP organization thought, but Cody, who was once a Marine, was actually secretly happy.

Cody was silent for a little longer this time, most likely discussing with the higher-ups of the CP organization, so Xie Wen took advantage of his free time and tied up Moria with a sea-floor stone chain.

Of course, because the effect of the Sea Tower Stone on ability users was too overbearing, Xie Wen didn't tie it up particularly firmly, but just circled it around Moriah casually a few times.

After he finished circling, Cody's voice came from the other end of the phone again——

"Okay, we will add an extra devil fruit."

"Just add one? You guys are so stingy." Xie Wen curled his lips in disgust.

"Stop talking nonsense! This is already our biggest concession!" Cody yelled angrily: "We can arrest you for attacking the Shichibukai!"

What he said sounded like a threat, but in fact he was reminding Xie Wen to stop when he was ready and not to push the people above him into a hurry.

Even without Huameimiao's "translation", Xie Wen could still hear the subtext of Uncle Cody, so as a "negotiator", he immediately changed his tone of helplessness.

"Okay, okay, that's it. However, apart from asking me to go to Marinefando to get the three Devil Fruits in person, there shouldn't be any other requirements, right? Also, how do I get there? I don't have a permanent license from the Navy Headquarters. pointer."

"Moonlight Moria knows how to get there. Just ask him. In addition, the handover time is set for ten days, and only ten days later. If you arrive early, you will be attacked by the navy with excuses, or if you arrive late, you will be attacked by the devil fruit. My Majesty the Navy, that is none of our business."

Obviously, this is another problem that the CP organization is posing for Xie Wen. After all, he just beat up Moria, and now he has to ask for directions, and the time is also limited. This can still give Xie Wen more or less. Awkward.

how to say? This method is really a bit petty and not at all like a force that has ruled the world for eight hundred years.

However, Xie Wen didn't argue with them. He didn't care about such small problems at all. The location of the Navy Headquarters is already public. If you want to find Marine Fando, you only need to find a naval base and ask, and you can find it easily. Ways of the past.

Even if the CP organization notified the Navy in advance not to tell Xie Wen, he could still ask Morgans, or just let Kelimiao try his luck.

Even if he asks Moria for a permanent pointer, Xie Wen still has a way. Don't forget, he still has two of Moria's subordinates.

Although this guy Moria keeps saying that only his undead zombie subordinates will not betray him, in fact he is a guy who values ​​his companions very much. Otherwise, he would not have immediately collapsed because all his former crew members were killed by Kaido. , and then he would single-handedly seek revenge from Blackbeard, who had become the Four Emperors, for Absalom... It was impossible for him not to know that he could not defeat Blackbeard.

After making sure that there were no other troubles, Xie Wen ended the call with Uncle Cody, and then looked at Moriah, who had already woken up.

"Did you hear everything just now? So, hand over the permanent pointer to Malinfando, and the conflict between us will be over with a smile."

Moria was so angry at Xie Wen's words that most of his zombie army was destroyed, and all the shadows he collected ran away. He himself was beaten violently by Xie Wen's cat. In the end, the other party actually wanted to just laugh it off?

However, Moria still knows the priorities of the matter. What's more, judging from the content of the phone call just heard, Xie Wen in front of him is probably going to become the new Shichibukai. In other words, at least his life should be saved. It was saved.

"Let me go." Moria said in a cold but weak tone.

There's nothing I can do, he's still covered in sea-floor stones.

Xie Wen was not worried at all that Moria would do something irrational after regaining his mobility. He had tied up Moria just to prevent him from disturbing his phone calls, so Xie Wen quickly tied up Moria. The sea tower stone chain on Moriah's body was removed.

"Where are my two subordinates?" After standing up, Moria was not stupid enough to continue attacking Xie Wen, but continued to say coldly: "Return them back, and I will give you Malinfando's permanent pointer. "

But Xie Wen curled his lips disdainfully, "Two ability users just exchange one pointer? What a beautiful idea you have."

"That's right! Keli also plans to raise those fun ghost cats!"

"Then what are you going to do?!" The shadows under Moriah's feet surged. He suppressed his thoughts of taking action and roared: "If you are unwilling to return my subordinates, I would rather fight you to the death." ! Without Malinfando’s permanent pointer, you won’t be able to get those three Devil Fruits!”

"Marinfando's pointers are not difficult to deal with." Xie Wen's words made Moria's expression even more difficult to look at. But then Xie Wen changed the subject, "However, it is not impossible to return them to you." …”

While comforting Kelimya on his shoulder, he grinned at Moria: "But as their ransom, a permanent pointer is not enough."
